By the time they reacted, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already been beaten into a sieve!

At such a close distance, out of a total of fifty bullets, at least one third of them hit his body.

There were even two bloody holes on his forehead.

Zheng Zhilong subconsciously took two steps back and put some distance between himself and Youtong.

Damn!

This eunuch was too cruel!

However, Zheng Zhibao saw Chengying showing off his power again and couldn't help but come over and ask.

"Hey, what is this thing in your hand?"

"Can you give it a try for me?"

Having said that, without caring whether Youtong agreed or not, he reached out and grabbed Chengying.

"Want to play?"

Yutong chuckled and pointed at Tokugawa Iemitsu's body.

"Go and chop off his head for us, and we'll lend it to you to play with."

"Okay, please go ahead, sir!"

Zheng Zhibao was overjoyed. He picked up the Japanese sword on the ground and walked towards Tokugawa Iemitsu's body.

Zheng Zhilong and Li Zicheng looked at each other and bowed to Youtong in unison.

"Congratulations, Captain, for killing another general!"

"I will surely be very successful when I return to Beijing this time. I hope we can see each other again someday. I'm afraid we can only look up to you, eunuch!"

"Hahahaha, Lord Marquis and Lord Earl are too polite."

Yutong threw Chengying behind him, reached out to help them both up, and the smile on his face was already the brightest.

The matter of the human heads was naturally handled by Zheng Zhibao. The place was filled with the smell of blood. After everyone chatted for a few words, they turned around and walked downstairs, ready to find a cleaner place to make up for this New Year.

Yutong walked in front with a step that showed he didn't care about his relatives, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking very domineering.

But when he was halfway up the stairs, his foot suddenly slipped.

Zheng Zhilong and Li Zicheng behind him saw this and wanted to go forward to pull him, but he had already rolled down the stairs...

"Click!"

The crisp sound was clearly heard by everyone.

Zheng Zhilong's face suddenly became nervous.

"Captain Yu!"

He jumped from the third floor to the first floor directly using the railing, then ran towards Yutong.

When Yutong was helped up, his face was already bruised and swollen from hitting the stairs...

“Ouch… Ouch…”

“Don’t, don’t move…”

"My leg seems to be broken......"

He broke free from Zheng Zhilong's arms, sat on the steps while holding the railing, and groaned while hugging his left leg.

"Go call the doctor!"

Zheng Zhilong wanted to curse!

Since the war against Japan broke out two months ago, the generals above the rank of centurion have not suffered even a scratch, but now something like this has happened. It's ridiculous!

Li Zicheng was also speechless and looked at Youtong, not knowing what to say.

"These damn Japanese made the stairs too narrow!"

"Don't worry, Captain. I will tear down all these stairs right away!"

After saying that, he winked at Li Guo and Li Laiheng, and the three of them swung their knives and started chopping at the ladder.

Yutong wants to cry!

They say that when the sky is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, they will suffer disasters. But there is nothing crazy about our family........

How could he break his leg out of nowhere?!

The two Xuanwu men who followed him were so frightened when they saw his expression that they shrank aside and dared not speak, for fear of incurring his wrath.

The doctor was just outside the city. The battle was over, so the drumming and cheering naturally stopped.

Ten minutes later, Wang Yuling came over in a hurry carrying a medicine box. Seeing Youtong sitting there with his legs hugged and frowning, he asked subconsciously.

"Why is it hurt like this?"

"Captain Yu, he......"

Li Zicheng was about to speak when he was stopped by Zheng Zhilong.

"When Captain Yu was fighting with Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was caught off guard and was knocked down the stairs."

Everyone was stunned, but Youtong felt warm at heart when he heard this and turned around to look at Zheng Zhilong with gratitude.

After Wang Yuling examined him, her conclusion was similar to what Youtong had guessed: the osseous bone in his left leg was fractured, and the injuries on his face were not serious.

This kind of injury is not a big deal for her, as the doctors specialize in bone injuries and external injuries in medical school.

After using manual techniques to straighten the bone and fix it with a splint, he wrapped Youtong's left leg like a dumpling with three layers of wrapping inside and outside.

"Father-in-law, please be careful. This injury will take more than half a year to heal."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Yutong's face instantly fell.

Wang Yuling was busy talking while saying, "You don't know, if it was a bone injury in other parts of the body, it would be fine, but you injured your scapula, which has few muscles. Once injured, it is very difficult to recover."

"And you have to be careful until you are fully healed. Otherwise, if the bone is dislocated again, you might become lame even if you are fully healed."

Yutong was stunned!

What the hell!

It was just a fall, how could it be so serious?

"Sister Ling, my dear aunt, you can't just ignore our family!"

"If I become lame, how can I serve the emperor in the future..."

"Oh, right! I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. You should go with me. I'm worried about the others!"

Wang Yuling looked a little embarrassed and turned to look at Li Zicheng.

She is now a doctor in the Qin army, so whether she can leave or not naturally requires Li Zicheng's consent.

Li Zicheng understood what she meant by looking at her expression and dared not disagree!

He immediately nodded and smiled, "The safety of the eunuch is the most important. There are enough other doctors in the army. I'd like to trouble the doctor to find someone to temporarily take your place."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Wang Yuling knelt down and bowed, then called the two Xuanwu men to come over and help Youtong up.

There was a ready-made place to stay here, so naturally everyone didn't have to go back to sleep in tents. And seeing how badly injured he was, Zheng Zhibao didn't dare mention playing with guns again.

The situation outside was not completely stabilized until noon of the next day.

Youtong had Li Zicheng invited to his room early in the morning, and took out two volumes of imperial edicts from the package and handed them to him.

"What's this, eunuch?" Li Zicheng was confused when he saw there was an imperial edict.

Yutong smiled meaningfully: "These two imperial edicts are for Yuan Zongdi and Niu Jinxing respectively."

"When I came here, His Majesty told me to wait until the very end before taking it out."

"If there is nothing unusual about the two of them during this period, then we will read out the names of them in public. If they dare to have any evil thoughts, then they will be executed immediately."

"We are all here. If the two of them wanted to do something, last night was the best opportunity."

"If they had taken action, they would have been captured by Chonglou by now."

"I give this imperial decree to you. As for whether it will be useful or not, it depends on their own choices."

Li Zicheng was speechless when he looked at the imperial edict in his hand!

Damn Yuan Zongde!

Damn Niu Jinxing!

You two mustn't do anything weird!

Chapter 603: My Lord, Yuan Zongdi has rebelled!

After handing the imperial edict to Li Zicheng, Youtong was carried out on a stretcher.

When he left, he took away not only Wang Yuling, but also Emperor Go-Mizunoo and Konoe Maeko.

Offering captives is a big deal and must not be missed.

At the same time, he also took Li Guo and Zheng Zhibao away.

After all, we have fought such a big battle, someone has to go back and explain the situation.

Moreover, the Qin army's imperial edict of surrender had just arrived, so some formalities still had to be followed.

Things here are not over yet, Li Zicheng needs to stay and take charge of the situation. Another purpose of Li Guo's return is to go to the palace to express gratitude on behalf of a group of Qin army generals.

After sending Youtong away, on the city wall of Nagoya Castle, Zheng Zhilong looked at the prisoners of war who were strung together like grasshoppers and said to Li Zicheng.

"How many prisoners of war has the Marquis captured during this period?"

Li Zicheng calculated in his mind: "Not many, only about 10,000 people. Including the ones from last night, the total number is less than 30,000."

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "That's almost enough. The South China Sea Navy has captured quite a few. Including yours, there should be about 60,000 to 70,000 people."

Although the two men had a difference of one rank in their titles, there was absolutely no distinction between superior and subordinate when they spoke, and it even seemed that Zheng Zhilong was superior.

Li Zicheng didn't take it to heart. His family knew his own business. Although he was a marquis, in terms of the value of his wealth, he could not compare with Zheng Zhilong at all.

If my guess is correct, Zheng Zhilong’s reward should come in half a year at most.

For the Qin army, this battle was just a token of their surrender. All the rewards had been given, and at most it would be just a token of their appreciation. If they wanted to take a further step, they could only wait for other opportunities.

"I heard that the brothers under the Marquis followed all the way here from Qin?"

With nothing to do, Zheng Zhilong suddenly started chatting about family matters.

Li Zicheng sighed, took out two betel nuts from his arms and handed them to him.

Zheng Zhilong smiled and shook his head: "I don't eat this. It pricks my mouth."

"This is not an ordinary betel nut. It is the best that I have collected from the homes of the princes. Try it!"

As Li Zicheng spoke, he stretched his hand forward again.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong pick up a pill and put it into his mouth, he spoke slowly.

"Those brothers are all miserable people, most of them are alone and can't even find their relatives."

"That's why they followed Li to seek a living. Thank God His Majesty for letting bygones be bygones. Now that they have an official status, they can settle down here in the future."

"But given our identities, it will be difficult for us to return to Ming in this lifetime..."

After saying that, he threw the remaining betel nut into his mouth and started chewing it.

"If you can't go back, then don't go back. As you said, most of them have lost their families. Wherever they are, that's home."

Zheng Zhilong pointed at some houses scattered outside the city and smiled.

"Did you see that?"

"Japan lacks everything except women!"

"Let your brothers marry three wives and four concubines. I'm afraid that when you ask them to go back, they may not be willing to do so."

Li Zicheng curled his lips in disdain: "How can these barbarians compare to the women in Shanxi and Shaanxi?"
